[solved] Mixed artist pictures (4 Viewers)

The MBID site returns correct search results for the artist name !!!: Search Results - MusicBrainz

If you can't change the incorrect search result at least it would help to not query the MBID from LastFM when no letter or number (only special characters) is in the artist name ID3 tag.

The MBID site returns correct search results for artist names:

Search order - AllMusic, LastFM, MusicBrainz ... I analyzed the search from these sites, it was the best option in which there were fewer errors.

Can you exclude the providers which return wrong search results for queries with special characters only? Probably it's only LastFM.

It’s possible to know which artists to remove from search on the LastFM website. I'll think about it ...

Another question:
On sampler disks with different artists the Album Artist ID3 field is set to "Various". This means that Fanart shows generic instead of the artist-specific pictures.
Is it possible to use the Artist instead of the Album Artist ID3 field for the Fanart picture lookup?

FH search and Show fanart for Artist and for Album Artists ... All my compilation have Various artist tag in Album Artist tag and different Arttists in Artist tag ...

Hmm, why the generic pictures are shown when the Album Artist field is set to Various - although Fanart pictures exist for the artist?
When the Album Artist is set to the artist name the Fanart pictures are shown.
What can be the cause? Any setting?

Various Artists have fanart and MBID ... https://fanart.tv/artist/89ad4ac3-39f7-470e-963a-56509c546377/various-artists/

I don't like to see the generic pictures for known artists.
Is there any FH setting to use the Artist instead of the Album Artist ID3 field for the Fanart picture lookup?
